Robert Redford is the smartest intelligence agent in his small division of the CIA. He and his group work in a cover location in New York analyzing world literature for possible references to other intelligence activities. One day he goes out to pick up lunch for everyone, and returns to find his entire crew murdered. He calls headquarters ... but has the sense not to trust them entirely either. He kidnaps Faye Dunaway for the use of her car and her apartment as a place to sleep.

Having watched "Extraction" yesterday, it seemed so weird that people just ... died when they were shot once or twice. The two movies exist in separate worlds ... I had to adjust my expectations from super-anti-heroes down to "ordinary people."

My favourite quote was from Redford, who said (accurately enough) "I'm not a field agent. I just read books!" But as mentioned, he's one of their most intelligent: he survives ambushes and causes all kinds of problems.

I didn't find the relationship between the kidnapper and the victim believable, and the movie is depressing. Redford is good. It's all very ... 1970s.
